with your ridiculous fpa, 5% is low.

yea it is.

throwing or widow on a barb is just sad

Throwing on a barb is sick. The only thing that sucks is axes have short range. Javs have twice the range which would be helpful in alot of situations

5% via Atmas verse 33% per Lacerator.
With Lacerator, you also get to wear Highlords.

Even if you Shael your Widowmaker (which I highly do not recommend) it's a dumb idea to use it as a primary weapon because you can't Whirlwind in it, so you have to teleport away and switch weapons while potentially being hit. Whereas with Lacerators, if it comes to it, you can telestomp with Lacerators or WW away and hope for a clip. It's not about the level of Amp, it's the use of Amp that's important.



Again, Widowmaker is not a primary weapon... neither is Double Throw. Both attacks are used as "secondary moves" upon which my Brawler guide is based on: a BvC with the ability to cast Amp (if so chosen) during specific duels, and to also create the strongest hybrid Throw/ WW barb for the creative people who want to try something different without being totally annihilated.



Yeah Javs range is huge. Incredibly good combination is a Jav + Lacerator for the 1.5 screen length throw. Nice Cruel or Fools one can do a lot of damage too when they connect.
If you throw a few axes and then run, it works well. Similiar to how a Bonemancer will shoot a Spear and then run through the path, a Brawler can make excellent defensive manuevers with Lacerators, or just throw them in the general direction and slowly move towards your opponent while abusing Leap.

anyone who talks about "widow as main weapon" has no idea wtf he is doing and should go buy 451 poison scs.

whirlwind is the primary attack. Double Throw is only used in cases where it is needed over whirlwind. Which is why makes a brawler better than a BvC. If you're making your brawler in a way that makes him worse than a bvc, you're doing it wrong.

Pew pew!

Awesome.. up..

Pew pew!

Much to do about nothing.
The effect you're looking for is much easier obtaining by making a regular BvC and use Hel'd Gavel of Pain on switch, for manual Lifetap.

fify
It's not just about the amp, which beyond the obvious godly -100 Phyres, its the use of throw for the highly damaging ranged attack too. It adds another dimension to the character play. It's bvc+options, so there isnt any real trade offs going on.
